If there is an accident
It is the responsibility of the employer to produce an action
plan and train operators how to deal with incidents. First take
action to save human life and second to avoid material
damage. Learn how to administer first aid!
Measures to take in the event of an accident:
•
Get an overview. Is anyone injured? Is anyone still in the
area where the accident took place?
•
Alert emergency services and be prepared to provide
information.
•
Administer first aid and prepare a route for the emergency
personnel.
•
Ensure that someone accompanies the injured to the
hospital.
•
Secure the scene of the accident.
•
Contact management.
•
Contact relatives.
•
Investigate the cause of the accident.
•
Put measures in place to prevent future accidents.
•
Always notify Husqvarna Construction Products in the
event of near-accidents or accidents regardless of
whether the machine was directly or indirectly involved in
the incident.
General working instructions
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
!
instructions. Neglecting to follow the
warnings and instructions can lead to
serious injury or death for the operator or
others.
This section describes basic safety directions for using the
machine. This information is never a substitute for
professional skills and experience. If you get into a situation
where you feel unsafe, stop and seek expert advice. Contact
your dealer, service agent or an experienced user. Do not
attempt any task that you feel unsure of!
Work area safety
The machine's risk area
Nobody is permitted to be within the machine's risk area when
work is underway. This also applies for the operator.
The working area is limited by the machine's reach, however,
the risk area varies depending on working method, work
object, surface etc. Study possible risks before starting work.
If conditions change during the course of the work, the risk
area must be redefined.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Workplace
•
Define and cordon off the risk area. Nobody is permitted
to be within the machine's risk area when work is
underway.
•
Ensure that the working area is sufficiently illuminated to
create a safe working environment.
•
The machine can be remote controlled over long
distances. Do not operate the machine unless you have
clear supervision of the machine and its risk area. If the
view of the machine and its risk area is not good enough
a camera system should be used.
•
Never start working with the machine until the working
area has been cleared of obstacles.
•
Be on the alert when working in environments where there
is a substantial risk of slipping due to unevenness, loose
material, oil, ice or suchlike.
•
Inspect ground conditions, load-bearing structures etc. to
prevent materials, machines and staff falling and deal with
any risks there might be before starting work.
•
When working at a height, for instance on roofs, platforms
and the like, increase the size of the risk area. Define and
cordon off the risk area at ground level and ensure that no
material can fall down and cause injury.
•
Do not use the machine in environments where there is a
risk of explosion. Take the risk of spark formation into
account when working in flammable environments.
•
Always check and mark where electricity cables and
pipelines are routed.
•
The air in confined spaces can rapidly become harmful to
health due to, for example, dust and gases. Use protective
equipment and ensure that there is satisfactory
ventilation.
Electrical safety
•
Check that the main voltage corresponds with the
machine's rating plate.
•
The machine must be connected to a functioning
protective earth.
•
Check all cables and connections. Damaged electric
cables can impede the machine's function and lead to
personal injuries. Do not use damaged connectors or
cables.
•
The electric cabinet must not be opened when the
machine is connected to power. Some components in the
electric cabinet are permanently live, even if the machine
is turned off.
•
Always connect the machine through an ground fault
circuit interrupter with personal protection, i.e. an ground
fault circuit interrupter that trips at an ground fault of 30
mA.
•
The machine must never be driven to such a depth in
water that it reaches up to the machine's equipment. The
equipment can be damaged and the machine can be live,
resulting in personal injuries.
•
Ensure that the power cable cannot be run over. Take
particular care when moving or when the outriggers are
being retracted or extended. Risk of electric shock.
•
To avoid overheating do not use an electric cable while it
is coiled.
•
Always de-energize the machine when carrying out
maintenance work and when it is not in use. Disconnect
the power cable and place it so that it cannot be
connected by mistake.
